The
Pride is off to an incredible 3-0 start which includes a 42-21 comeback
victory during week 1 over the Mt. Carmel Fire in Cincy. The Pride scored
22 unanswered point and held the Fire to negative rushing yards in the
2nd half.
Week 2 found the Pride at Robert Morris University facing the Western
PA Warhawks. “The offense just never got started” said coach
Rich. “The defense won this one for us!” he added. The Final
score was 13-0 Pride with the only points of the game coming on an Omar
Palmer kick off return for a TD and a 60 yard bomb from QB Brenden Pearson
to rookie WR Kendall Robinson.
Week 3 saw the Pride in their first home game of 2008 vs. the Steel
City United. This game was all Pride. The defense pitched its’
2nd consecutive shut out and the offense put up 27 points. This game
was a display of the Pride’s deep roster. Every Pride Player saw
playing time and contributed to the team’s success. “This
game belonged to the offensive line” said Coach Rich. “Those
guys got it done today”. Coach Rich went on to say that he is
happy to be reunited with Defensive Coach Dorian “Doc” Russell.
“Doc and I have had success together in the past…lets face
it, our offense can put up points and the defense doesn’t give
up many. If that isn’t a formula for success, I don’t know
what is”. The Pride defense has played an incredible 10 consecutive
quarters of football without giving up a single point.
Next up for the Pride….A home game at Plum High School Stadium
vs. the 0-3 New York State Lions. The Pride enter this week as the #2
ranked team in the league, behind the reigning National Champion Lima
Warriors.
Go Pride!
